Copy paste from other thread since you are a dumb nordic ape with no knowledge of history or sciences

This is as >WE WUZ as it gets and it's debunked by modern DNA studies on the Minoans, the Mycenaeans and modern Greeks.


>Modern genetic research shows that modern Greeks derive a very large proportion of their ancestry from the ancient Mycenaeans. The landmark ancient DNA study by Lazaridis et al. (2017) in Nature found that modern Greeks genetically resemble the Bronze Age Mycenaeans, with estimates around ~70–80% shared ancestry from the same ancestral components as the Mycenaeans, although later admixture slightly diluted the early Neolithic farmer signal over time. Subsequent archaeogenomic work analyzing large ancient DNA datasets from the Aegean — such as the genome‑wide study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution (Skourtanioti et al., 2023) — supports the same overall model of continuity by showing that Aegean Bronze Age populations with substantial Mycenaean‑like ancestry form the core of later regional gene pools. Together, these peer‑reviewed studies indicate that a high percentage (on the order of roughly three‑quarters) of modern Greek ancestry is traced back to Mycenaean‑period populations, with additional smaller contributions from later groups.

The Minoans were the main ancestors of the Mycenaeans, and the had mostly black hair as shown by their art etc

The first blonde hair we have found it is from the Mediterranean.

Mycenaeans were a Mediterranean people with mostly with black hair but also had many exceptions of course with blonde people like Alexander the great, Alcibiades etc. Greeks simped a lot for blonde hair and it is the reason they made many of their heros they liked blonde. Blonde hair being rare made it much prettier, I explain it in capitalist terms so you may be get it.

If you think Greeks were Nordic or looked like nords in general you are dumb as a rock

i dont think anyone can tell for sure when hellenic art portrayed them both jews and greek as nordic looking in art

art is simply preference in beauty and aesthetics
ts easy to convey nordic people as of the highest beauty when we posess the main building blocks for objective beauty;
- symmetrical facial features
- straight noses
- taller skulls

#1 the original greeks were wiped it and jews see it as divine feat for having laid waste to greek society.
#2 the jews being infamous for being butt ugly, theres no way sumerians were nordic looking or whiter than greek
we know that the jews are more neanderthal and inbred, therefor objectively ugly and theyre still relatively dark.
we know that turkish people who look more greek, also look more white/nordic.

so i believe that greek is more nordic looking without a doubt
and jews are a mix of arab/canaanite indian/gypsy-esque garbage that just simply look like a mutt arab.
this also fits their behavior and mannerism, liars and thieves.

I don't think you understand how rare "total whipe out" is in general

Did you even read what I posted ? The DNA search ?

Modern Greeks in general are 3/4 Mycenaeans and of the rest 1/4th is , also depending on the area, mostly Slavic usually around 5-16%. Northern Greece is higher in that regard.

You can go see the Maniates , who were never conquered and see how they look.

You cannot really be serious if you believe Greeks were Nordic people. It's not supported by anything, only Nordic >we wuz. No,you weren't. If Nordics are more beautiful in general etc is a whole another discussion. Historically tho? Nordics are completely irrelevant. Anything else is pure cope trying to find historical importance

People on the 20s and 30s had it figured out.
Unfortunately they weren't based enough to fix the problem.
Dysgenics causes the collapse of most empires.
It is really simple.
A strong intellect people build a civilization that incorporates genetically comparable populations.
But as it grows, it incorporates incompatible populations that out reproduce them and then the society goes to shit.

So here is how it works.

The city is an demographic sink. Every city has a corresponding geographic area that is being drained. Smart, industrious, talented or beautiful people move to the city, they are put to work and generate economy. They experience a metropolitan lifestyle of degeneracy and excess, and experience an extremely low birthrate. Therefore, more people have to constantly be moving to the city to replace the ones that didn't breed. Every year, more of the most talented, beautiful, intelligent people are sucked into the cities.

This does produce an insanely huge economy, of course. But on the flip side, it shreds the population genetically. All of your best people are systematically erased through low birthrates. This effect only got more rapid with the Industrial Revolution. Britain has been industrialized the longest, for about 200 years, and look how ugly their population became in that time. Australians are a time capsule of what British people from London "used to look like", before the shredding.

Look at Rome. They created cities, indulged in excess, by the end they were exhausted of talent. The empire fell apart through sheer incompetence. The Germans had not been demographically shredded yet, that's why the Germans started rapidly rising the ranks of the Roman nobility and taking over key institutions.
The scariest thing is, once a population has been eviscerated this way, it never recovers. All those people under Roman rule, are 2nd tier nations today. They never bounced back. It's a permanent effect.

Today, we are seeing the cities in powerful countries, poach the intelligent people from poorer countries, "brain draining" them. Only 2 countries on earth haven't been tapped yet, India and China, that's why there's such a feeding frenzy for those immigrants. We're seeing true "rags to riches" stories as the children of peasants are found to have incredible talent. We used to have those stories in the West too, in the early days.

The pattern is this.

>cities are formed
>country BOOMS! like an exponential grown, suddenly massively powerful and successful
>then the demographic shredding takes place as they indulge in excess and degeneracy
>then the society starts to hollow out
>the young generations are less talented than the old, and all you have are legends of the past when we were actually competent
>the society crumbles
it's the same story every time.

Rome followed this pattern too.

Was it the races of the people coming in or was it that the culture that made them strong was forgotten about by the native race?

It's always the latter, regardless of racial makeup. When the spirit of a people fades away, the nation and their civilization fades. Diversity weakens the native spirit and will over time, but it is the responsibility of the natives to stand firm and believe in what made them strong.

>>528520512

>According to Lazaridis etal.2017, both Minoans and Mycenaeans derive most of their ancestry—at least three‑quarters—from the first Neolithic farmers of western Anatolia and the Aegean, along with additional contributions related to populations from the Caucasus and ancient Iran. The key difference is that the Mycenaeans carry an extra component related to populations from eastern Europe and Siberia, introduced via groups connected to the Eurasian steppe or Armenia. In quantitative models discussed by geneticists, this steppe‑related ancestry in Mycenaeans is estimated at roughly 10–20%, while the remainder of their ancestry is largely similar to that of the Minoans. Minoans themselves lack this northern input and show mainly Neolithic Anatolian and West Asian-related ancestry. This minor but significant northern component is what genetically distinguishes Mycenaeans from Minoans, even though the two populations share the vast majority of their DNA.

That's right. When browns succeeded in muddying the original Aryan Trojan genes with their brownshit ways, the Empire devolved into corruption and degeneracy.

It's fate was sealed when the Punic (Carthaginian) faggot Septimius Severus took power. His son murdered his other son in front of their mother to become Emperor and then promptly declared all inhabits of the Empire as citizens. 20 years later the Crisis of the Third Century began and Rome collapsed. Many, MANY such cases.

It just so happened that the Empire would do good being run by corrupt white men and hiring soldiers for a long time because they were feeding off of a previous 800 years of Hellenistic culture and Celtic gold.

Imagine counting the endless changes of government and conquest in Egypt as being "3000 years" while ignoring that Rome was already the most glorious and storied civilization long before Augustus.

Rome lasted from 800 BC to 1453. That's 2253 years. Or if you consider the ROMAN Catholic Church to be Rome, it's still dominating to this day.

americans posting this narrative is beyond retarded, you are the living breathing proof that decadence is always what comes first, then maybe as cherry on top you get demographically swamped by your own serf class
same is true in Europe, a modern Swede is basically indistinguishable from a random Gothic warlord if you put it in terms of ancestry, yet here we are

and while it's true, and lots of "meds" are in denial about it, that there was a demographic turnover, it doesn't mean the earlier inhabitants were any "NVRDIC", for the most part Italy and Greece went from a more western mediterranean type(Spanish/Sardinians) to an eastern medierranean type(Cypriots), with northern-populations being the other ingredient

Shitposting aside, let's assume the greek and roman civilizations were built by nordic people. Can someone explain why this type of civilizations haven't been replicated up north? Why was this specific only to the mediterrean?

Why we don't see a colloseum there?

civilization imho is mental software first, it's an idea, those people were better off as semi-nomadic herders, and it's not all ups, it requires a large slave class to exist

Because you'd freeze to death if you built marble villas in the frozen North, and wore togas, you'd have to haul the materials across thousands of miles of land on foot. You'd have to develop modern agricultural techniques and deforest millions of acres just to have inferior crop yields. And that's just in Germania, not Scandinavia. Amongst many other factors that only made advanced civ possible in modern times in that region, you nigger.

Holy cope. Are you saying that they haven't discovered the wheel yet, or domesticated horses? Of course they had both, so again no excuses. Now you're going to tell me that central / north western europe where the celts / germanics and slavs lived didn't have stone quarries, right?
If the so called nordic elites managed to build top tier civs with the med brownoids, what stopped you doing the same when the nordic civs were populated exclusively by nordics? Werz muh Atluhnteez at? Shieeeeet

Wrong, all (((browns))) in the world are mutts.
There's only 4 species of humanoid, Whites, Asians, Niggers and Abos. Everything in between is muttland, most happen in the last 2k years as I already explain.
You're just a mutt-golem coping as parcel.
All ancient civilization that had any relevance was white, the cope is free.

Did these statues appear out of nowhere? Why do the mummies have blonde hair?

Make it make sense.

>ukraine

We're talking about Germany and Scandinavia. Not the grazing land for Huns, faggot. And FYI Crimea was a Roman colony.

What do you get off trying to prove that Nords in Germany were somehow inferior to Nords in Italy because they didn't develop at the same time anyways?

>marble =/= stone

Augustus literally writes in his diary what a massive undertaking it was to import Marble from Egypt to Rome. That's across the Mediterranean with the help of ships. Transported on foot 15 miles from Rome.

>What (You)r ape ass if asking is...
For Nordic tribes to import marble over 1800 miles in a straight line mostly over land to create buildings that bore absolutely zero relevance to sparse populations of tribes in a completely forested region.

I don't think you comprehend the sheer stupidity of your questions.

Criimea and the Danub was the river gateway to the Baltics. It has always been Nordic

Nerdisissies are retarded.

The Balkans were already lightish-brown prior to the Ottoman occupation. That was just the cherry on top. Most of the ancient Balkan population died during the Justinan plague, 6th century AD. Afterwards, the Byzantine government began giving out 'foederati' status to various slavic and avar tribes for economic purpose, settling some of them as far south as the Peloponnese peninsula. Later in the Middle Ages, turkic tribes like the Bulgars, Cumans, Tatars and others also settled.
To think that the average Balkanite circa 1400 AD was some Norwegian guy, who got buttfucked for 500 years by the Ottomans is retarded. When turks tooked christian concubines they mostly settled back in Anatolia. Their element in the modern Balkan genome is minimal.

The calendar wasnt created to honor caesar.

Caesar bestowed the calendar onto the people of Rome so the Pontifex Maximus wouldnt have to keep recalibrating the Lunar calendar. Claiming the calendar merely honor Caesar undercuts his historical contribution

>>528534942
holy fucking shit are you retarded?

That is completely and utterly irrelevant

>>528519740
Many such cases, yes

>>528519740
when you mix niggers, it destroys the bloodline
ancient indians + niggers = current indians
do you notice the pattern with all those mass imported indians?
imagine mixing current indians that's already a massive downgrade
